0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
0:08.0 | Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
0:19.4 | So, this video is based on a question someone had about the mercury in tuna fish. |
0:26.4 | There are certain types of tuna that are good and certain types that are not so good |
0:29.9 | because they contain three times as much mercury. |
0:33.8 | Now, the problem with mercury is it interferes with certain enzymes involving selenium. |
0:40.9 | And certain fish have more selenium than others. |
0:44.1 | And so, the mercury that's in the environment, it's in the water, that the fish are exposed to. |
0:49.9 | It might not affect you too much if there's high amounts of selenium because selenium can counter this mercury. |
0:55.9 | But you have to realize that if there's too much mercury, it can lock up these selenium enzymes rendering them in active. |
1:03.9 | And this can create a whole series of mercury toxic symptoms, like tremors, headaches, nausea, insomnia, weak muscles, twitches, mood swings, and there's a lot of other symptoms as well. |
1:19.5 | And so, if you want tuna that's lower in mercury, skip jack is a good source, and canned light tuna. |
1:26.9 | Now, a better option would be to do the canned salmon, sakai, or the pink alaskan salmon, or even wild-called sardines. |
1:34.7 | But you want to avoid the tuna that is higher in mercury, and that would be the albacore, or the canned white tuna. |
1:40.7 | Avoid that, and then avoid ahi tuna, which is yellowfin in big eye, because you're going to get three times as much mercury. |
1:48.1 | Now, if your child is consuming tuna, you want to really bring down the frequency, because really it's dose dependent. |
1:54.5 | So, I would recommend your child consumes tuna maybe once a month. |
1:59.1 | Now, there are certain cultures that consume dolphin or whale. |
2:02.5 | You have to realize you're getting 20 times as much mercury as even the tuna in the higher category. |
2:09.7 | Alright, so this was your short video regarding the mercury in tuna. |
2:14.5 | Hey, before you go, if you're benefiting from any of my content, I would love to hear about your success story. |
